This to me is not about race . ..
it is about culture.
I wish for certain principles and cultural norms of equality to be upheld . For all people white , black , male , female. For ALL people to be held accountable to them. - white British , or ANY CULTURE and I think that some extremes of some cultures do not support this .

People saying it doesn’t matter - doesn’t the differing culture bother you?

For example, there have been moves for dog bans in some places (not just dogs on leads). Britain is famous for being a nation of dog lovers.

It’s easy to pontificate about how we all get on together when you’re not affected. When there is strong political representation of beliefs which adversely impact you and your dcs then you might well change your mind.

I thought it was about skin colour?

Culture is something different. There are loads of different white cultures.

What culture are you worried about becoming a minority?

I have come across some White people who quite frankly needed cards to say breathe in - breathe out so if they represent the epitome of racial purity we are sunk. The same for some non white people.

I see the big problem is the ongoing lack of clarity on immigrant - ie applied, been approved and offering something to the UK, the asylum seekers who may or not be here for safety, protection from oppression due to "normal" beliefs who Do Not Have any way to apply for out with the UK - due to shortcomings of successive UK governments in not allowing applications for out with the UK. Finally the failure to remove those whose asylum applications have been rejected.

Any media coverage of "immigration" whether from GB news or the BBC are illustrated by large number of young African men. The story may be about encouraging skilled clinicians but all shown by the former.

I worked in a GP surgery who had, amongst out patients around 50 families of refugees - Ukrainian and Syrian. The surgery got paid more for these patients as they had on many cases sent horrific and suffered terribly. It was thought that they had more GP interfaces than the average patient. The manager wanted the data to prove this.

50 families - 130 patients - average of 10 appts in a 12 month period. From my own initiative I sought the 150 most frequent White British/White Scottish frequent fliers. Now the surgery was in a deprived former coal mining area but the 150 native population had on average 15 contacts. Collapse, as they say of Stout Party.

@Quine0nline - I don’t disagree.

I was talking recently to a “modeller” who was saying we’re f*d as the people of whatever creed or colour at the bottom are ballooning at the same time as the lower/middle class is contracting.

It’s actually hilarious that people on this thread pretend to not know what an English person is. Well, it is distinct enough from other white people (Scottish and Irish people go on endlessly about this tbh).

When you become a minority in your own country (whenever that happens), people will definitely know who you English are. And they’ll no longer care about the things your ancestors did or did not do, except as a cudgel to beat you with.

Grim.

Are you a bit hard of thinking? People have been trying to frighten the gullible for years by implying that the English are about to become a minority in their own country. Even old Enoch was prating about that 50+ years ago.... and yet it still hasn't happened.

The Conservative party and even Reform are stuffed with wealthy brown people. Some of them are even Muslims. Dont think they will support policies that would see their own mums getting deported. Maybe I am hopelessly naive and they would.

Bullshit. Your title refers to "Whites'.

samarrange · 14/02/2026 19:59

I remember seeing a tweet (I think it was) from someone claiming that White Americans would be a minority in X years. Someone commented, "Is this a problem? Are you saying that minorities are treated less well than the majority?"

Exactly - shifting the goalposts when they laid it out perfectly well in the opening post and indeed title.

Barnbrack · 14/02/2026 20:09

Anyone who claims this is why they dislike different races and immigration is openly admitting minorities are treated worse and they don't to be the minority

kittensinthekitchen · 14/02/2026 20:16

Remember that joke when people used to claim "I only have a problem with the illegal brown people, not the ones that are here legally"?

Don't ever fool yourself into thinking that you are safe either. Your time willl come.

Not British

I'm not sure what your point is?

marcyhermit · 14/02/2026 20:55

Are you worried about skin tone - people with the same skin tone have multiple different cultures and religions.
Or culture - people of the same culture have multiple different skin tones.

Different white cultures in Britain? Explain..

Wales has a different culture from England. A different language, used extensively in many areas as just one example of difference.
The same is true in Scotland.
NI has distinct cultural differences from the rest of the U.K.

What cultural differences

BlueJuniper94 · 14/02/2026 21:02

What cultural differences

A different language where Wales and Scotland are concerned. (I don’t think much Irish is spoken in NI). Are you really trying to say that isn’t a significant aspect of culture? In terms if Wales there is also a different appreciation of the arts and some particular arts that the rest of Britain doesn’t have - types of poetry and music for eg. My impression is there’s a different type of community feeling too. I am Welsh living in Wales but have lived in England for most of my life so can compare.

I know this may make me sound like a conspiraloon, but I sometimes wonder if MN is being targeted by far-right activists. I'm on many other forums, and never see this sort of shite on any of them.

It's very strange. Worrying, too, occasionally I come across posts that are getting very close to inciting racial hatred.

Like the ones here basically saying who gives a shit if white people are "replaced" and that white people deserve to be wiped out because you know colonialism? The vast majority of the posts on this tread are basically saying it doesn't matter if white people no longer exist in Britain. Those do sound very hateful I agree.

The differences are, I would argue, far smaller than many of the devolved nations would care to admit. I could live in Wales, Ireland or England very comfortably. We all speak English as a primary language.

I think if I moved to Bangladesh or Somalia or Afghanistan I would struggle hugely with the cultural differences.

Where has anyone said anything like that?!
Stop making shit up.
Your "basically" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and word twisting there.
